Humanoid Robot HR-2 239
Denix writes "The HR-2 humanoid robot was constructed during a period of three months at Chalmers University in Sweden.
It has 22 degrees of freedom which enables it to easily move around imitating human motions. The robot is also equipped with stereovision giving it possibilities to perform hand-eye coordination. For that task an artificial neural network is evolved. Furthermore, the artificial brain is capable of tracking faces as well as recognising them. The HR-2 is also able to speak.
The website also contains a movie (35.5 MB) of the HR-2 in action."

The DSP factor (Score:3, Informative)
DSPs are good at tasks like pattern matching, filtering out noise, finding statistical correlations, inferring probabilities, and simulating neural networks - among other things. These sorts of tasks are can be done by traditional processors, but such processors aren't designed for this. Something a cheap DSP might handle can hog inordinate amounts of CPU time on a pricey general purpose processor, because architectures like x86 and ppc weren't designed for heavy vector processing. It takes lots of clock cycles on these processors to simulate with software what a DSP does in hardware.
This page [cdaservices.com] lists many DSP capabilities to give you a better idea.
